If I owe $45316 on my home, $8000 on my car and $3600 in old debts how much would it be for chapter 13?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Chapter 13, which is the restructure and repayment bankruptcy has a "no look" fee in Southern California of $3,600. "No look" means attorneys are free to charge up to this amount without having to account for their time to the Trustee/Court. Most attorneys will charge the "no look" fee because they don't want to bother with keeping track and accounting for every minute they spend on the case. Some attorneys will charge more and go through the extra steps to get paid. Unlike Chapter 7, where legal fees need to be paid upfront before the case is filed, how you pay the fee is negotiable. Some attorneys will file the case with little money down and allow for payment of remaining fees through the Chapter 13 plan. To file chapter 13, you must have regular income.

How do I get my money back from a garnishment?

Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, any collection action on a consumer debt must be filed where the consumer signed a contract on which the action is based, or resides when the action was filed. The remedy is $1,000 statutory damages plus any actual damages. Filing in the wrong place may or may not invalidate the underlying judgment, depending on the distance. Consult a consumer attorney.

How can I get my second mortgage lien that is valued at zero and supposedly extinguished actually avoided so I can move forward and refinance?

Answered by attorney Linda S Novakov (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Linda S. Novakov & Associates, PLLC
If you have an order from the Bankruptcy Court that specifically sets out the information for the second mortgage that is filed against the property, you may be able to file that Order in the Clerk's office. I would suggest contacting the attorney who filed your Bankruptcy and requesting help with the issue.
